Warrior Pose

The Warrior Pose is my favorite Yoga position which reminds me that I need to get back to doing Yoga. Here are some new DVD covers for Lynda.com. These pieces are a lot of fun to create and the biggest challenge for me is finding new ways to push enough color into the design to drive a cover.  Art Direction from Heather Stallings and Bruce Heavin.

Fab, as always, Richard!

The conception sketches are mental yoga in themselves. Impressive, Linda.com is a lucky client!

Richard, I must know - how many of these do you complete each year? And how do you keep coming up with ideas? I'm amazed.

Hey, you guys, I am happy that you like the work!. Kyle, I don't know how many I do a year but I have done 5 in the last couple weeks. The idea part is a blast, I check out the history of the program on Wikipedia and then I go to the developers website looking for any connections to symbols. I am starting to work on 2nd and 3rd generation covers and these are a fun challenge competing with my earlier design self.

As much as I love the finishes, it's your creative process and the prelims that boggle my mind. It's just a pleasure to look through all of it.
